Remaining Relative Visa (Subclass 115)

inerbaner
It is a permanent resident visa specially crafted for those people whose all the near relatives have moved to Australia and only they are left in their homeland. The applicant can include only their partner and their or their partner’s child or stepchild under the family members in this visa application. However, at the time of applying for a visa application and at the time of visa grant the applicant must be offshore from Australia.

Benefits:

The applicant after being granted the visa can reside in Australia as a permanent resident and after fulfilling the requirements can even apply for Australian citizenship. For five years from the date of visa grant the applicant can easily leave and re-enter Australia.

Eligibility Requirements:

  • For applying this visa, the applicant’s as well as their partners near relatives must be citizen of Australia, Australian permanent resident or eligible citizen of New Zealand and living in Australia.
  • An eligible near relative or their spouse having minimum 18 years of age must sponsor the applicant and their complete family.
  • The applicant must have someone who provides assurance of support.
  • To be eligible for the health requirements for the visa application, the applicant as well as the dependent members of family must pass the medical exam meeting minimum requirements and go through a complete medical examination.
  • The applicant must obtain police clearance from all the respective countries in which they and their 18 years old or above family members have lived for more than 12 months in the last ten years.
  • For being eligible you need to be devoid from any debts to the Australian government before the visa grant.

What makes the applicant ineligible?

If any of your or your partner’s near relatives is unlawful or a holder of a temporary visa/bridging visa, then you won’t be considered eligible for this visa. Another point which makes you ineligible for this visa is your sponsor or their partner being a holder or sponsoring someone else in Remaining Relative (subclass 115 or 835), Family 806 visa or Preferential Family 104 visa.

Who are considered eligible near relatives?

    The applicant’s near relative living in Australia will be considered eligible only if they are-
  • Biological or step-parent of the applicant or their partner
  • Brother/sister
  • Stepbrother/Stepsister
  • Child/Stepchild who is 18 years old or above and is not dependent on anyone
  • Child/Stepchild who is under 18 years old and is not under the daily care or control of the applicant or their partner.
